Sebastopol Union board appoints Jonna Thomas to serve through 2026
Summary
At a Jan. 13 special meeting, the Sebastopol Union School District Board appointed Jonna Thomas to a board seat through 2026 after a candidate Q&A; the appointment was adopted with four recorded ayes and no recorded no votes.
The Sebastopol Union School District Board of Trustees appointed Jonna Thomas to a trustee seat through 2026 during a special meeting on Jan. 13, 2025. Board President Deborah Drehmel moved to appoint Thomas and Trustee Olivia Leon seconded; the minutes list ayes from Trustees Drehmel, Leon, Bauman and Foulke and record no noes.
Board members spent time questioning both candidates with pre‑approved questions before the vote; the minutes say candidates spoke about what they could contribute to the district and what they expected to learn if appointed. Superintendent Sara Gramm and several community members were listed as present. The minutes also note a numeric inconsistency in the draft vote wording (the tally is recorded once as "4-1-0" while the roll listing shows four ayes and no noes); the appointment is recorded in the minutes as approved with the four named ayes.
